November 3, 2010

I have spent the last 6 months in upper California and no longer am I running the guesthouse. The El Boleo mine, painfully on hold during the worst of economic times, is now about to become a reality with funding underway. The mine will bring many new opportunities for jobs and investment to the citizens of Santa Rosalia. Hopefully it will improve the town in many ways and perhaps allow them to fulfill the dream of becoming one of Mexico's Pueblo Magicos sometime in the future. As for my blog, it has served its purpose for me of describing my day to day life as an innkeeper and of the life and times in Santa Rosalia. I no longer plan to post new blogs. And so I bid you a fond farewell.

My life--

Quien es?

An expatriate American wife living the slow country life in Baja and running the company guesthouse. Married to a copper mining man whom I call Esperando Esposo, means 'looking for my husband' in Spanish, the pen name I have given him for always getting lost in Home Depot. We have brought our three pets, the dog Sweet Pickle, the cat Sour Pickle, and our newest addition, a Chihuahua puppy Little Tickle, down here to live with us. We have adopted three feral Mexican cats: Frida, Carmencita, and Mrs. Moustache.

Adventures with Lupita

You know this about your pets especially when they are still young--never leave them alone for too long. So what did I do? I slipped out of the room for a while and when I was out Lupita got a hold of my computer and started her own blog: adventureswithlupita.weebly.com.
